This summer was terrifyingly hot. Many countries in the Northern Hemisphere were plagued by extreme heatwaves that broke all the records. A lot of people also suffered from the consequences of that heat – excessive rain that caused flooding and droughts that helped fires swallow up huge expanses of land.

With summer temperatures increasing every year, many pet owners are getting more and more concerned, too. This year, a lot of them were forced to consider how to keep their four-legged buddies safe during extreme heat.

The list below shows the most ingenious pet attempts to fight the heat. From licking ice cubes to hiding in fridges, pets are using many creative ways to stay cool.

Of course, when it comes to heat, pets cannot save themselves. They do need our help to manage such high temperatures.

First things first—it’s important to keep your pets inside. This is somewhat easier with cats who do not need much daily exercise. As for dogs, you’ll have to be more prepared.

Start by planning your walks. Try limiting them to 15 minutes and only go out in the morning, before the heat reaches its peak, and in the evening, when it subsides. This is especially important for short-nosed pets like French bulldogs and pugs, whose inherent difficulty breathing is made even worse by warm temperatures.

    Check on your horses feet when riding on the tarmac when it's hot, especially when not shoed. In case the frog (this triangular, soft cushion) touches it, it is at least uncomfortable for the horse

    The pavement often gets really hot during the day, and it can damage your dog’s paws. A good way to see if that’s the case is to stand on the pavement yourself—if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog. 

    That is why it is best to avoid asphalt and paved walkways when taking a walk and opt for a grassy area instead. If that is not possible, you might need to invest in dog booties to protect your four-legged friend.

    I have a husky. Once we went on vacation for 7 days and boarded him for that time. They would constantly send us photos of him to show us he was being well taken care of. They had a pool just like this and he was smack dab in it blowing bubbles with his entire snout underwater. We get home and buy him the same exact pool and he wants nothing to do with it. That's when I realized he was just a bully not letting the other dogs crowded around him in the picture enjoy themselves.

    Staying at home can, of course, be a problem for very active dogs. Still, experts suggest to try to come up with indoor activities for your pet. This can be food puzzles, searching for hidden toys, and brushing up on or learning a new trick or two.

    I'm going to guess Turkey. There's unfortunately a lot of stray, or "outdoor living" dogs and cats in Istanbul, for example, but they genuinely seem loved by the community and cared for in this way. It isn't always easy to acclimatise an animal that has been on the streets to living in a home, but just that little extra support to help them with their street life is amazing.

    When heatwaves hit, always keep water in mind. That means taking a bottle with you when going for a walk and keeping the hydration up when at home. If you have a back yard or a terrace, swap out the outside metal bowl with plastic so that they don’t get hot in the sun. You can also fill up a little pool for your pet and see if it likes to take a dip. Make sure to place it in the shade, though, to limit sun exposure.

    You can also get a little creative when trying to help your pet cool down. Cold treats like pupsicles can help them stay cool from the inside. One can also invest in a special cooling body wrap, a vest, or a mat. Unlike fans, which are not made to cool down your pet and should not be relied on, they can provide some relief.

    Believe it or not, your pets can also get sunburnt. Pets with light short hair as well as hairless ones are the most susceptible to it. You can provide protection by applying sunscreen to the areas where the fur is light or non-existent. Typically, that is the belly, groin, nose, and ears.

    Some owners think it’s a good idea to shave their dogs with thick fur when the temperatures climb as it might make it easier to cool down. However, this can be counterproductive as it exposes “virgin” skin to the sun. Instead, consult with your pet groomer and see what they would recommend for your pet’s coat.

    That's what you get when you take a dog from a naturally cold environment and take it to a naturally hot environment. The fur is extra thick to insulate the dog from the cold. It could be considered selfish and or possibly animal abuse to be taking animals like that and expecting them to live comfortably in a hot environment. If you took a Chihuahua up to Northern Canada Habitat just because you like the way the dog looks or the breed is it's just not fair for the animal. Just the same as if you could adopt a polar bear and expect it to be living in an outdoor pen in Columbia. I understand the appeal of a husky or other similar animals but you have to weigh your desire to have the animal against how miserable the animals gonna be in your environ Canada Canada. To be rearranging animals from their natural environment to satisfy your own desire to possess the animal is just ultimately selfish.Canada you would have to have a very thick little coat for it because they are not cold

    They may be a little warmer than their sparsely coated brethren, but the "doubled-coat" not only insulates from the cold, but also the heat. When they're shaved the coat is never the same, and they're more likely to freeze *and* sunburn very easily.

    As someone who lives with a double coated dog, shaving is actually ill advised.. Never Shave a Double Coat Many people with double-coated dogs are understandably concerned these dogs will suffer more from the heat than single-coated dogs. Some double-coated breeds come from countries that are very cold, which adds to the concern as the breed may struggle in summer. In reality, the double coat is a very clever piece of evolution that keeps a dog cool in summer and warm in winter. The outer guard hairs of the double coat act as mentioned above, and shaving them away reduces the dog's protection against sunburn, overheating and insect bites. The undercoat is dense and fluffy and sits close to the skin. It provides insulation in winter when it is thickest, but in summer, it naturally begins to shed and thin out. Removing the excess undercoat by regular grooming with a comb or slicker brush will instantly help your dog keep cooler by enabling cool air to circulate beneath the guard hair

    Of course, cats and dogs are not the only pets that suffer in high temperatures. If you have a pet rabbit or guinea pig, you can wrap an ice pack in a towel and put it in their cage to rest on. You can also drench their greens you give them in water to provide more hydration or give them hydrating treats such as apple, pears, or celery.

    Even if you take all the precautions, always keep an eye out for signs of heatstroke. Those can be anxiousness and restlessness, excessive drooling and panting when laying down, vomiting or diarrhea, abnormal gum or tongue color, unsteadiness or collapsing. Cats may also start breathing through their mouth. Rodents can get sleepy and lethargic, struggle to breathe, have fits, or fall unconscious. If you notice any combination of those, take them to the vet as soon as possible.

    This reminds me so much of my dog and myself! On hot days, he loves going into creeks or shallow rivers and laying down as far out as he can go without having to swim (he CAN swim, he just isn't very good at it and panics when he can't touch the bottom), and I'm always crouched down and perched on the edge giving him as much leash as possible. Lately I've started bringing water shoes on our hikes so I can walk down the creek with him.

    Get some gel cooling mats, and keep them in the fridge. Swap them over every hour or so, so he has a nice cold gel mat to lay on, and you can keep the fridge closed. Also works for humans.

    poor baby. maybe freeze a water bottle or something for her. You don't want to give her a gelpack she might chew on, or ice cubes that will melt and make her bedding wet, but a frozen bottle of water could help a lot.

    Why would you take your dog on a hike when it's so hot his paws need protection. I saw an episode of Animal Cops where a couple called for help because their two dogs weren't coping with the heat on a long hike. One of the dogs died before help got there.
